About me

Hello and welcome to my blog! I am Vivienne, living in the UK and married with a son who now lives in Perth, Australia and a daughter who has given me two gorgeous grandsons! Paint Shop has been my hobby for more years than I can remember and I love making tags. I have always loved doing tutorials written by others and a couple of years ago started writing them myself. As well as tag tutorials, I also have a Tips and Tricks page where you will find tutorials on basic Paint Shop techniques. I hope you enjoy my blog and have fun with my tutorials. Please be sure also to check out the Tag Gallery and see some of the awesome results to the tutorials!

Crop your tag now and add your copyright information and text.

 

ANIMATION:

Open your Freehand selection tool and set it to the values in my screenshot
below.



Go to the waterfall element in your tag and click on it to activate it then
draw a freehand selection around the edge of the water. Don't worry about
getting it exact, the feathering on the selection tool will fade it out at the
edges.



When you have drawn your selection, right click on that waterfall layer in
your layers palette and "promote selection to layer", deselect then duplicate
that promoted selection until you have three copies of it.

Click on the top copy of the promoted selection layer and go to Adjust -
Add/Remove noise - Add  noise and apply with the settings in my screenshot
below.




Close off that top promoted selection layer, open the second one and again
add the noise but change the noise to 13, repeat the above with the final layer
with the noise set at 14.

Right click on your tag and "copy merged" then paste in Animation Shop "as a
new animation.  Back in Paint Shop, close off the open promoted selection layer,
open the next one and repeat pasting in Animation Shop "before current frame",
then do the same with the last copy.  

Run your animated tag through the Optimization Wizard and safe as a gif.
